"Finding lower ground and getting under uniform tree cover are some of the few things that can measurably decrease your lightning risk, she says. (NOLS, for its part, agrees that finding shelter should be a hiker’s first priority in a storm.) She adds that standing or sitting on a sleeping pad “makes no difference” that she’s aware of. Better to leave the pad in your pack and focus on moving to a safer location."

"If you’re standing under a tree, you could be at potentially greater risk than if you were standing out in the open. That’s because lightning is more likely to hit a 100-foot-tall tree than a 5-foot-tall person. And if it does, the hiker beneath it is first in line for the aftershock."

"Crouching can help—but lying down makes things worse."

"Since 2006, more people have died [from lightning strikes] while camping in tents than while hiking by themselves,”

"There’s no such thing as getting “accidentally” caught in a storm. "
